In FIG. 2 showing the overall configuration of the present invention, a user can access the Internet 202 using terminals such as a personal computer (PC) 201a, a portable terminal 201b, and a television 201c.

The Internet 202 has an information server 2
03 and the transfer server 220 are connected. Although many other servers and terminals are connected to the Internet 202, only necessary ones are described here.

In FIG. 2, the information server 203 is a Web server.
Server 204, block advertisement display management unit 205, block advertisement information table 206, block advertisement table creation unit 207, industry code file 208, store code file 209, station group code file 210, station code file 211, advertisement instruction file 212, file The input / output unit 213 has a function of storing advertisement information therein, searching for appropriate advertisement contents in response to a request from each of the above terminals, and transmitting the advertisement contents to the transfer server 220 for display.

The Web server 204 is connected to the Internet 2
02, input and output data via the transfer server 22
0 to the block advertisement display management unit 205,
The information from the block advertisement display management unit 205 is sent to the transfer server 220. The block advertisement display management unit 205
The information (code) stored in the various code files is determined based on the information from the web server 204. For example,
It is determined from the name of the getting-off station to which station group the getting-off station belongs, and the advertisement information for each block frame in the block advertisement information table 206 is sent to the Web server 204 for display.

The block advertisement information table 206 stores a table (advertisement information for each frame) created by the block advertisement table creation unit 207, and stores the block advertisement display management unit 205.
And provides the corresponding information (advertising information) to the user of each terminal.

The block advertisement table creation unit 207 searches the advertisement instruction file 212 (advertisement period, page view, station group code, display image), organizes information for each block frame, and creates a block advertisement information table. The information is sent to the block advertisement information table 206. In addition, the block advertisement table creation unit 207 provides the block advertisement display management unit 205 with advertisement information for each frame.

The search condition of transfer guidance input from a terminal such as the television 201c is received from the Web server 221a, and is sent to the transfer search unit 222 to instruct search. In addition, an image in which the search result from the transfer search unit 222 and the advertisement information from the information server 203 are combined is displayed on the screen of a terminal such as the user's PC 201a, mobile terminal 201b, and television 201c.

Next, an embodiment of a method according to the present invention for displaying an advertisement in conjunction with a transfer search will be described with reference to FIG.

This service is started in step S101 of FIG. The user uses the PC 201a to connect to the Internet 2.
02, and sees, for example, the advertisement screen 301 of the restaurant A shown in FIG. Button 3 for transfer guidance at the bottom of the screen
02. When this button 302 is clicked to know the route to the restaurant A, the screen jumps to a transfer guidance screen. At this time, the user jumps to the transfer guide with the restaurant code of Restra A and the station code.

Here, as an example, the call parameters in HTML for displaying the advertisement screen 301 of restaurant A are station code 5 and store code 6, and button 3
The image of 02 and the link to the transfer guidance can be written in HTML as follows.

Button image ... <IMG SRC = "Transfer information"> Link to transfer information ... <A HREF="Transfer information server name?Station code=5 & store code=6"> A for hyperlink It is set to jump to the transfer guide server name as the server name before the "?" As the anchor link of the tag, and at this time, it goes with the information separated by "&". In this case, the user will fly to the transfer guidance service with at least the station code and the shop code. Here, the “transfer guide server name” is a server name + a processing program name, which is delimited by /, and the processing program can be described in CGI. More specifically, HTTP: //. co
m / △△△. cgi? (Station code) & ...

Next, in step S102, the user inputs search conditions for transfer guidance from the terminal. You can use the restaurant A in Shinjuku from JR Hamamatsucho Station as a boarding station, for example.
Suppose you are going to. In the transfer guidance, it is known that the user jumped from restaurant A by the store code.
In this case, since the getting off station is the station where the restaurant A is located, Shinjuku Station is applied to the getting off station field 402 of the transfer guidance by the station code “5” specified by the parameter described above.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which Hamamatsucho Station is entered in the boarding station column 401 and Shinjuku Station is automatically entered in the getting off station column 402 on the transfer search screen. At this time, the boarding route column 405 may display a Yamanote line, and the getting off route column 407 may display a center line, and a station name may be selected.

When the input of the search conditions in FIG. 4 is completed and the display button 409 is clicked, the screen for setting the search conditions shown in FIG. 5 is displayed.

(1) If the boarding station cannot be uniquely determined by the input notation, a pull-down 501 is selected.
(2) The getting off station is already determined because the station code is specified (5 in this case) from the jump source page, so there is no need to select it. In (3), a button is used to determine departure or arrival, and the time is selected and input. Here, the departure time is set, so the departure button 502 is clicked. The hour is set at 503 and the minutes are set at 504 and 505. Here, 11:00 is set as the departure time.

(4) The priority designation at the time of display includes a time, a fee, and the number of transfers, and for example, a fee is designated. (5)
The day of the week is designated for weekday, Saturday, and holiday, (6) for express limited use, or not for (7) display output number, the number of results to be displayed at one time is selected.

After completing these inputs, the display button 5
By clicking on 06, the process moves to step S103, and the transfer search section 222 in the transfer server 220 starts searching for transfer guidance. In the present invention, the search for the transfer guidance is not a feature, and therefore will not be described in detail. In step S104, the route from the boarding station to the getting off station is checked together with the time, fare, and the like.
Ends the search.

Before displaying the search result, step S1
In 06 to S109, an advertisement when the search result is displayed is searched. That is, first, at step S106, the transfer server 220 requests the information server 203 for advertisement information. The advertisement space 601 to the advertisement space 605 in FIG.
To request advertising information. In the HTML program for this, the station code is 5, the store code is 6, and the advertising space numbers are 1 to 5, respectively. Assuming that an example in which the advertisement space number is 1 is presented, the following is performed.

<IMG SRC = ″ information server name?
Store code = 6 & station code = 5 & advertising space number = 1 ">" As an image information request, it jumps to the server with the information server name described before "?", But at this time, it goes with the information separated by "&" . In this case, the user jumps to the information server 203 with the station code and the store code of the restaurant A.
Here, the “information server name” is the server name + processing program name, separated by “/”, and the processing program is CGI
Can be described as Specifically, HTTP: XX. com
/ △△△. cgi? (Station code) & ... IM
Although G SRC is described in HTTP, it can also be realized by a method such as SSI.

Next, in step S107, the station group is detected from the station code which has been skipped and the shop information and the business type code are detected from the shop code.

The request for image information is sent to the transfer server 22
0, via the Internet 202, via the Web server 204 of the information server 203, and enters the block advertisement display management unit 205. The block advertisement display management unit 205 stores
An industry code is searched from the store code of the restaurant A, and a station group code is searched from the station code in the station group code file 210.

As a result, it is checked whether the information corresponding to the store code and the station code is registered in those files, and if registered, the corresponding advertisement information is registered in the block advertisement information table 206. Depending on the type of business code, it is also possible to register the related advertisement information registered in the business type code file 208.

In step S108, the detected advertisement information is extracted from the block advertisement information table 206. That is, the advertisement display management unit 205 extracts the advertisement information for each advertisement space from the advertisement information table 206 with these codes. An advertisement for restaurant A is displayed, and an advertisement of the same business type is not displayed, and information such as stores and events registered in a station group around the disembarkation station is selected to be displayed.

In step S109, the extracted advertisement information is sent to the transfer server 220. That is, a reply of the image information is made to the transfer server 220 with the advertisement information. The block advertisement display management unit 205 transmits the advertisement information from the Web server 204 to the input / output unit 221 of the transfer server 220 via the Internet.
Send through a.

In step S110, step S109
Is displayed on the screen of the user's terminal together with the advertisement information obtained in step S105 and the information of the transfer search result ended in step S105. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the input / output unit 221 of the transfer server 220 configures a result screen so that an advertisement is displayed at the top of the screen and the search result of the transfer search unit 222 is displayed at the bottom of the screen. .

The boarding station, getting off station, boarding route, and getting off route are shown at the top of the screen. Here, the advertising frames 601 to 605 are filled with advertising information by the input / output unit 221. The screen configured by the input / output unit 221 is sent to the terminal used by the user via the Internet 202 and displayed on the screen of the browser. The display screen displays a transfer search result, an advertisement for restaurant A, and an advertisement around Shinjuku Station.

When the user clicks on the advertisement in the advertisement space presented above, the advertisement server holds the frame number, jumps to the advertisement server, counts the number of clicks, and returns to the advertisement. Jump to the server that provided the information. An example in the case of frame number 1 is shown below.

Link to Information Server ... <A HRE
F = ″ information server name? Advertising space number = 1 ″> In order to jump to the image information provider, it jumps to the information server of the server name described before “?”, But goes with the advertisement space number information. . In this case, it jumps to the information server with the advertisement frame number, and then jumps to the advertisement information provider server. This jump is performed based on the information stored in the advertisement instruction file 212.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which a store code and a station code are acquired, and a similar store advertisement is made based on the obtained code, or information about the same type of station is displayed. Of course, only the station code or the shop code may be obtained.

By the way, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention,
Although the description has been made on the assumption that image information is used as the advertisement information, in the present invention, text, that is, character information can be displayed as the advertisement information.

In this case, the advertising space is a text area. When the displayed text is clicked on in the same manner as the above-mentioned image, the text jumps to the advertisement server while retaining the information text number, counts the number of clicks, and jumps to the advertisement information providing server. An example in the case of the information text number 3 is shown below.

Link to Information Server ... <A HRE
F = ″ information server name? Information text number = 3 ″> To jump to the advertisement information provider, jump to the information server of the server name described before “?”, But go with the information text number of the advertisement This is the same as the case of the image of the above-described embodiment.

In this case, the server jumps to the information server with the information text number, and then to the advertisement information providing server. This jump is performed based on the information stored in the advertisement instruction file 212 in the same manner as in the above-described image.
